Two idiots and their much more intelligent guests take on classic TV (mostly the Andy Griffith Show) to see the weird messages they broadcast into American homes, and assess what holds up and what caused permanent damage to the psyche of an entire generation.Join hosts Marty Schneider and Dan Ludwig as they descend into the madness of Boomer television, and occasionally break down their own childhood television addictions.New episodes bi-weekly on Thursday mornings!

BACKDOOR LOVERS: Paranormal Creatures Networking Event

Breaking Mayberry ·

2022/10/13

Our trip through TV Shows that never were continues, as we briefly step into the seedy criminal monster mash of SUPERNATURAL: BLOODLINES, a proposed spinoff of the CW hit that launched a million gross fanfics.Using the very original idea of a turf war between monsters, Bloodlines imagines a Chicago where rich shapeshifters feud with handsome werewolves, and also a Chicago where Sam and Dean Wichester just sorta... stop in for lunch.Follow Breaking Mayberry on Twitter:

BACKDOOR LOVERS: A Surprisingly Supportive Mob Boss

Breaking Mayberry ·

2022/10/06

Welcome to our new NEW miniseries, Backdoor Lovers, where we explore episodes of shows that were meant to create new shows... but didn't.We explore the Charlie's Angels episode TONI'S BOYS, an attempt at setting up a "Charlie's Angels but with boys!" show that no one could possibly have wanted. Thrill as a man struggles to understand what a strip club is, cheer at an emotionally available Mafioso, and be amazed at what a boy can do with a horse and a rope.BACKDOOR LOVERS!Music by Max Ludwig:

102: Your Host, A Miserable Pile of Secrets

Breaking Mayberry ·

2022/04/14

Look, I don't know what this episode title means either but I do know this THIS episode is agonizing for Marty and Dan.Turns out, there's a good reason why TV seasons aren't 32 episodes long anymore, and that's because you run out of plots REAL FAST. These episodes aren't technically reruns, but pretty darn close. Somehow, though, the Andy Griffith Show finds new ways to disappoint us.It's Andy Griffith Season 4, Epis- you know what, who cares?Marty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan

Well sucks for you because that's what happened here.It's... it's so painful, gang. It nearly kills us. Why did we do 100 of these holy crap.Listen to Joe on Christmas Creeps:

96: HBO Presents Bartleby the Scrivener

Breaking Mayberry ·

2021/12/30

This episode was recorded on December 28th. I'm telling you this because it's a VERY "this is the week between Christmas and New Years, time is meaningless we are all lost in liminality" sort of episode. In fact, we talk about The Andy Griffith Show, cumulatively, for about 18 minutes on this one. That's being generous.What do we talk about instead? Well, The Brady Bunch, MASH, Dan's Landlord's Sex Swing Accident, Herman Melville novellas, and TV Tropes. See you next year, everybody.Marty on

Dan introduces us to the "failing to buy sparklers" challenge, Marty confesses to a crime at work, and we all spend too much time talking about one particular prop from the Andy Griffith ShowMarty on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchneidRemarksDan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theluddsSUPPORT BREAKING MAYBERRY ON PATREON:
